Introduction
The AC-MX-82 is a 8×2 HDMI matrix switch. Supporting HDMI 2.0(a/b), HDCP 2.3 and previous, up to 4K video resolution, and up to 18Gbps bandwidth. This switch allows any source (Blu-ray, satellite receiver, game consoles, PCs, etc. ) to show on any connected displays. In addition, this matrix equalizes and amplifies the output to ensure the HDMI signal will transmit through long HDMI cables without loss of quality.

The AC-MX-82 is ideal for bypassing AVRs that do not support full 18Gbps. Instead of bottlenecking video quality through a legacy audio device that can’t handle 18Gbps. Integrators can run down-scaled video to a legacy audio device and send uncompressed HDMI to the display. Audio remains untouched on a downscaled output, making it an ideal component for systems where high bit rate audio is critical.

The AC-MX-82 can be controlled using the Micro USB port, 3pin RS232, or over TCP/IP using the LAN connection. For initial setup it is recommended to connect the matrix to a local area network (LAN) and use a computer on the same network in conjunction with the built in WebUI. After making all the physical connections, the first step will be to check for any Firmware Updates. The below steps are an example of this setup, other control options are covered in separate sections of this user manual.
1. Connect the HDMI Input sources to the HDMI Inputs on the back of the matrix. 2. Connect the HDMI/devices to the HDMI Outputs. 3. Connect the network LAN cable to the RJ45 port labeled IP CONTROL. 4. Power on the sources (Inputs). 5. Power on the Output devices/displays. 6. Connect the 12V power supply to power on the matrix and then to a suitable power source. 7. By default DHCP is Enabled and when powered on the AC-MX-82 front panel display will show the
devices network settings before displaying INPUT/OUTPUT status. You can also connect to the matrix via the Micro USB port or 3-Pin Terminal then to a computer and send the command GET STA (see page 31 for more details). This will reply with the current settings of the matrix including the IP address. If you are able to scan the network, the device will show up with a MAC Vendor labeled as “AVPro Global Hldgs” (see page 17 for more details).

NOTE: To Disable/Enable DHCP using the front panel controls press and hold the AUDIO OUTPUT SELECT button for approximately 3 seconds. If the HDMI OUT1 Input leds flash once that means DHCP is Enabled. If the HDMI OUT2 Input leds flash once that means DHCP is Disabled.

8. With the WebUI open, navigate to System. Click on the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, this will open these documents in a new tab for review. Once read click on the boxes next to each to agree. When both are checked the switch for Enable Cloud Services will be selectable (will be red or disabled by default). Click to enable (the switch will turn green).
9. With the Cloud Services enabled under the Hardware section click the Update Firmware button to check for new Firmware OTA (over the air). This will compare the firmware versions currently loaded on the AC-MX-82 and compare to the latest available. If it is up to date, you will see a prompt stating “No update available!”
10. If an update is available, the following prompt will show. Simply click UPDATE. 11. If a new update is available a file will automatically be selected, simply click the UPLOAD button to
load the firmware files to the Matrix. Uploading does not install the Firmware, that is the next step.

RS-232andTCP/IPControl:
The AC-MX-82 can be controlled with either RS-232 or TCP/IP commands. Certain switching or format configurations can only be done using these commands. We recommend using either the MyUART (RS-232 – free) or Hercules (TCP/IP – free) apps as they are very easy to use for sending commands to the machine. For TCP/IP control commands use Telnet Port 23. For RS-232, use a null modem serial cable adapter and set the serial communications to: 57600,n,8,1 (baud: 57600, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit) with no handshaking. Please add a return (Enter key) after each command when using direct commands. The unified command list (ASCII) is listed on the following pages. Text version available here, and under the resources tab of on the products web page.

ExtractedAudio:
The extracted audio ports have three distinct operating modes. Your desired mode can be set to suite your particular installation. The 3 modes are: Bind to Input ~ This is the default configuration. In this mode the audio port number corresponds to the INPUT signal. This is ideal for systems where audio is matrixed separately in a zoned amplifier. Bind to Output ~ This configuration will automatically have the audio follow OUTPUT, so the audio from the extracted port always matches the HDMI output. This is ideal for systems that use local AVR’s for some of the zones. Independent/Matrix ~ This mode allows you matrix the extracted audio outputs independent of HDMI. In this mode a new set of commands becomes available to be able to route audio however you want. This can be used as a separate zoned audio matrix with only using an amplifier. Setting up Extracted Audio Routing: You can set up Extracted Audio Routing from the front panel, WebUI, Driver or by sending the following command:
SET EXAMX MODEx — Where {x=[0~2](0=Bind To Output,1=Bind To Input,2=Matrix} If you set to “Matrix” you can use the following command to route the 16 extracted audio ports to any INPUT:
SET OUTx AS INy — Where Set Ex-Audio Output x To Input y{x=[0~4](0=ALL), y=[1~4]} Balanced5pin2ChandToslinkAudioPort/SPDIF: TheSPDIFToslinkportsupportsupto51ChDigitalaudiotheL/RAnalogaudiosupports2Chaudioonly Thismeansinorderfortheseportstofunctionthesourcesmustbesetto2ChPCM,thisunitdoesNOT downmixtheaudio(seeAC-AXION-8fordownmixingmatrix)Togetmorethan2Channelsyouwillwant tousetheSPDIFport

Troubleshooting
· Verify Power – Check that the power supply is properly connected and on an active circuit. · Verify Connections – Check that all cables are properly connected. · IR Issues – Verify correct connections – Page(s) 30 · Lights indicate everything is good but still not getting a picture, this may be a bandwith lim-
itation. See Bandwith Chart below to verify the signal is not exceeding the bandwith of the Extender kit, some can be limited to 10.2Gbps.

Warranty
THE BASICS.
AVPro Edge warranties its products that are purchased from all Authorized AVPro Edge Resellers or direct purchases. Products are guaranteed to be free from manufacturing defects and of sound physical and electronic condition.
AVPro Edge has developed a warranty that anyone can get behind. We really wanted to take all the “red tape” out of a warranty and just make is simple. Our 10 YEAR NO BS warranty hinges on 3 elements.
1. If you are having trouble, call us. We will attempt to troubleshoot your issue over the phone.
2. If it’s broke – We’ll replace it in advance on our dime. (We’ll cover return shipping too.) Repair is an option too, but it’s YOUR call.
3. We know you know what you are doing. We will not make you go through unnecessary steps to troubleshoot an extender…
COVERAGE DETAILS.
AVPro Edge will replace or repair (at customer choice) the defective product. If the product is out of stock or on back order it can either be replaced with a comparable product of equal value/feature set (if available) or repair.
Your warranty begins at receipt of product (as confirmed by shipping firm tracking). If tracking information is unavailable for any reason, the warranty will commence 30 ARO (After Receipt of Order). The coverage continues for 10 YEARS.

RED TAPE.

AVPro Edge is not responsible for untraceable purchases or those that were made outside of an authorized channel.

If we conclude that a product or serial number has been tampered with as identified by warranty seal or physical examination the warranty will be void. Additionally, excessive physical damage (beyond normal
wear & tear) the warranty may be voided or pro-rated based on the extent of the damage as examined by an AVPro Edge representative.

Damage caused by “acts of God” are not covered. They can include natural disasters, power surges, storms, earthquakes, tornadoes, sink holes, typhoons, tidal waves, hurricanes, or any other uncontrollable event related to nature.

Damage caused by incorrect installation will not be covered. Incorrect power supply, inadequate cooling, improper cabling, inadequate protection, static discharge are examples of this.

Products installed or sold by a third party to AVPro Edge will be serviced by the Authorized AVPro Edge Reseller.

Accessories (IR Cables, RS-232, Power Supplies, etc…) are not included in the warranty. We will make acceptable effort to source and supply replacements for defective accessories at a discounted rate as needed.
